Degenerative Myopia - Nearsightedness thought to be hereditary, which may start at birth, or in later childhood. It’s a more severe form of myopia and can lead to blindness. It’s associated with to cataract formation and with retinal changes and can lead to retinal detachment.

Depth Perception - Our ability to judge the relative distances of multiple objects. Each eye receives a slightly different image. The dominant eye looks directly at it and the non-dominant eye looks from a slight angle. The brain compares these two images and arrives at an estimate of their relative distance. See also Strabismus.

Punctal Plugs - Very small plugs of collagen, silicone or plastic that are inserted into any of the punctum (tear drains) as a treatment for dry eyes. One type is absorbable, lasting anywhere from a few days to several months, and if this makes the eyes better lubricated, non-absorbable plugs can be inserted as a long-term treatment. Placement is painless, taking less than a minute.

DALLAS LASIK - DR WILLIAM BOOTHE: Epikeratome - A surgical tool similar to a microkeratome, used to make the corneal flap in an Epi-LASIK procedure. It has a blunt separator where the microkeratome, used in LASIK procedures, has a very thin and sharp blade. It’s another way of making the corneal flap and does not involve the use of alcohol, as LASEK procedures do. Each way of making the corneal flap has its advantages and disadvantages and consultation with an experienced eye surgeon will determine which would be best for you.
Anterior Basement Membrane Dystrophy - The most common corneal dystrophy. An eye condition where the membrane that lies beneath the epithelial cells (surface cells) of the cornea is uneven and traps cells below it which should normally rise above it. It impairs vision, is usually hereditary, and fluctuates in severity over the person’s lifetime. It’s also called Map-Dot-Fingerprint Dystrophy (a name based on how it looks microscopically), and Epithelial Basement Membrane Dystrophy

Keratotomy - (keh-ruh-TAH-tuh-mee) Surgical incision of the cornea. This is done for a radial keratotomy (RK) procedure, treating nearsightedness by flattening the cornea slightly. Several tiny incisions are made around the periphery of the cornea, extending further inwards to the center in more severe cases of nearsightedness.

DR. WILLIAM A. BOOTHE - DALLAS: Aniseikonia - (a-neece-eye-KON-ee-a) An impaired type of binocular vision where the left and right retinal images are of different sizes. It can occur naturally, and is sometimes induced by refractive surgery.

Anterior - An anatomical term meaning the front part of a structure as opposed to the posterior, the back part.

Astigmatism is a distortion of the image on the retina usually caused by irregularities in the cornea.

Dr. Boothe, having problems with vision and having to wear eyeglasses or contact lenses can be burdensome. Some have problems with constantly losing or breaking glasses and tearing contact lenses. Some find it difficult to look for glasses that perfectly fit the shape of their faces and some feel that it makes them look older.
